• Ms. Kyles's 5th Grade


    Week in Review

    Reading – Students have been reading independently with a focus on theme.  The theme of a story is the central idea or underlining message that the author is trying to convey.  Ask your student about the theme of the book that he or she is reading.    

    Math – Students continued working on division strategies and ways to notate division problems and solutions.  In addition, students continued practicing double digit multiplication and reviewed ways to add and subtract with three digit numbers.  Students took the unit one assessment today.

    Social Studies – Students learned about Native Americans and Their Lands and began to look at the seven cultural regions settled by Native Americans.  Science – This week we continued exploring weather.  Students added the words radiation, conduction and convection to their vocabulary last week.  This week students read and learned about the water cycle and added the following words to their vocabulary: water cycle, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and ground water.  Ask your student to demonstrate the water cycle for you!

    Writer’s Workshop – This week we continued working on our personal memoirs. Students participated in helping circles. Using constructive criticism and compliments, they encouraged and built each other’s confidence as writers.
